AB  - South Asian Diaspora in Portugal is diverse in nationalities and religious practices. The most prominent population is Hindu-Gujarati, living in Portugal since the late 70’s of the last century. This migration route was boosted by decolonization of Mozambique in 1975 (former a Portuguese colony), from where this population migrated before. Anchored in long-term fieldwork (our researches allowed us to access specificities of this group. Particularly, this paper focus on Hindu practices that incorporate elements of Portuguese Catholicism. 
In domestic shrines, beyond Hindu deities, we often find a representation of Our Lady of Fatima. Moreover, every family visits the sanctuary in Portugal at least once each year. Through the phenomenon of inclusion of Our Lady of Fatima in Hindu ritual and pilgrimage practices, we will present ethnographic results from these religious practices with connections with Mozambique, India and the UK. We will reflect about processes of hinduization of catholic beliefs and its transnational impact, as well as on (in)visibility/visibility strategies (Knott 2016) and integration. 
With the analysis of these dynamics, specific of the Portuguese context, we aim to challenge dominant views about the Hindu diaspora through perspectives that allow us to observe Indian diasporas, as Oonk(2007) suggested, «with an eye for nuance and variation».(Oonk2007: 24).
